Naisme! Someone else has read Blue Highways? I loved that book. Didn't hurt that I had a short wheelbase cargo van, and a wanderlust. Never drove the blue lines in the van, now I hope to do it on a bike.

Sokool, post as often as you can, there are people from all across this country on this board. Can't hurt to try to connect with some for a place to stay or some maintenance. Just post so people know what you are asking. Good luck.
